CICB

Crane Inspection & Certification Bureau (CICB) was founded in 1969 as the first independent agency accredited by the US Department of Labor to provide third-party inspection and certification of equipment for the crane and lifting industry. The objective of CICB’s Rigger Training Programs is to vividly impress upon the students the necessity for safety in all aspects of rigging operations and procedures. The safety standards reviewed in detail include graphic illustrations of the personal and economic dangers inherent in the use of rigging in lifting and material movement operations. The step-by-step progression of this training is designed to provide the student with the knowledge and skills to become a safe and professional rigger and/rigging inspector.

NSL America is not just a training company. Unlike run-of-the-mill training providers who generally deliver training at awareness level and are non-specialist in the subject matter, NSL are experts in all aspects of lifting and mechanical handling. With our highly skilled lifting engineers and instructors, we can perform technical reviews or audits on your lifting operations to identify any weaknesses or problems. We can then make recommendations as to how to fix them by supplying a host of support services such as on-the-job training, provision of custom training courses, workplace and competence assessment, and mentoring. Training can be delivered at one of our training centers, on client’s premises, or offshore. We also have support materials such as safe operating procedures, safety manuals and handbooks, safety poster sets, training DVDs, and eLearning. In other words, not only can we identify your problems, but we can fix them too!

Slingmax offers rigging training and safety courses. These courses were developed to enable rigging and supervisory personnel to perform their rigging jobs with appropriate knowledge of the equipment available to them and with a safety-consciousness of their work. All commonly available types of rigging and hardware are covered in the courses. They all reference the applicable regulatory standards for the topics they cover. While some of the courses were originally designed to be instructor-taught sessions, they can be self-taught. Most of the courses are available on multiple media: video, CD, and DVD, and all attendees will receive certificates of attendance.
